Lewis J. Cramer.

Republican nominee for Superintendent
of Public Instruction, wal born at Tiifin,
Seneca county, Ohio, Dec. Z, 1S47. In
his youth he attended school, and did
such work as boys brought up on a farm
are required to do. +.
MI. Cramer has a diploma from Hell
delburg College in his native city, and
holds a Nebraska State Teachers Ger
tificate for life.
His present position as head of the
public schools of this city he has held
for the past eleven years, an unusual, We
may we'll say, remarkable tenure of
Office" from numerous school boards.
He is well acquainted with the people
of the county, thoroughly SO with the
teachers, and with the needs of the public
school system of Platte county.
Every man, woman and child interest
ed in the welfare of the schools should
make an effort to have voters cast their
ballots for L. J. Cramer.
There is Il growing tendency by the
people to regard school and Judicial
matters as a little aside from politics
generally. If this feeling is allowed to
prevail, MI. Cramer will receive a unani-
nous vote.

The UseruI Nfaguer rIant.

At Ozumba. where the road begins
to descend, we breakfasted very well
for so cents in a rude shanty. on eggs,
rice, beefsteak, three or four other
kinds of meats and stews, sweets, pull
que, and black coffee, says Charles
Dudley Warner, writing on Mexico in
Hdrper's Magazine. The pulque is
best in these high regions. It is Wis
cous milk-white fluid, very wholesome
and sustaining, and would be a most
agreeable drink if it ''tasted good" In
fact it tastes, when it has been q few
days fermented, like a mixture of but
termilk and sour cider. But many
strangers become very fond Iof it.
The older it grows the more intoxicat-
ing it is. As the reader knows, proba-
bly,, it is drawn from the maguey
plant, called by US the century,"
which grows on these elevations to a
great size, and is the cleanest-limbed
and most vigorous and wholesome
looking product of the region. When
it natures it shoots up stout spike ten
or twenty feet high from the center,
bearing brilliant orange flowers.
When the plant is ready to tap the GEN.
ter stalk is cut out, and the sap collects
in the cup thus formed. 1t is dipped
out or sucked out by tube, and when
first drawn is mild, cool, and refresh
ing. In about three days it begins to
ferment. As it is often carried to
market on the backs of natives in pig
or goat skins it gets a disagreeable
flavor. The maguey plant has many
uses. 1t is eaten cut up and preserved
like melon rinds. Its long, tough fiber
is used very extensively in making ropes
and cordage. The end of each leaf
terminates in hard, sharp, black
thorn. Break off this thorn and strip
down the fibers attached to it, and you
have capital needle and thread for
coarse sewing. The muleteers use it
to mend their saddles and broken
harness straps. What encouragement
is there to industry when nature
furnishes in one plant drink, food,
needles and thread and rope for
lariats?

'thc Fair God" though the real Sc
crets of their arts are jealously guarded
by the MeXicans, having been handed
down through successive generations
from Indian ancestors who practiced
